the advantages of international travel and mass media. The ease of international travel and the spread of various kinds of mass media all over the world have made it more possible than ever for people to know how other people live in other countries. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages? ...................... Among sociologists worldwide, there is, to my knowledge, certain concern expressed over the issue of the effects recent advances in transportation and communication exert on people's lives. To be more precise, a fact worth noting is that it is very easy now for people in a country to have access to information about lifestyles of those in another. According to the general consensus of opinion, the fact above should be seen as a positive development since it can offer tremendous benefits. Above all, people can have an opportunity to gain a great deal of knowledge about foreign cultures and then improve their lifestyles, either easily getting it via the mass media or experiencing these cultures first-hand via tourism. As a result, cultural exchange can be carried out in a faster and faster fashion, which many people believe will play a significant role in speeding up the process of globalization. None the less, people still fear some potential consequences in which the development may result. In particular, it should be mentioned that there may be mixed changes to the local cultures, and as a consequence, more and more countries will witness the loss of their cultural identity. What is more, the world may be on the verge of losing its cultural diversity in the not too distant future when people in a great number countries, whether developed or developing, have a tendency to follow the same way of life. In brief, having a chance to travel to another country or to get information about it in as easy a way as now can improve people's lifestyles and help speed up globalization. Much as this can cause a few problems, but they fail to improve too serious, or put another way, they can be outweighed by the benefits.

Should richer countries help poorer countries improve health, education and trade. Improvements in health, education and trade are essential for the development of poorer nations. However, the governments of richer nations should take more responsibility for helping the poorer nations in such areas. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion. ………………….. To my knowledge, most government officials are probably casting about for the answer to the question as to how to help poor countries' development. No doubt, it is so big an issue which can prompt different opinions, and in fact, there is one suggestion that governments of richer countries should take more important part in helping the poorer ones improve the areas such as health, education and trade, for such these areas are of great importance to a nation’s development. By the large, the view above can be justified and the advocates of such a view can offer its tremendous benefits. On top of everything, the poorer countries which receive supports in the areas above from the richer ones can develop in more effective fashion, and this helps the citizens of the former who resign themselves to poverty can have better living environment. Moreover, the relationship of these nations will, for definite, be strengthened and there is no denying the role of international cooperation in worldwide sustainable development. However, the skeptics of this view can give some arguments and some of them are compelling as well. In particular, it is true that richer nations are supposed to spend a great deal of money helping the poorer ones, or to put it another way, the former may have a possible lack of money to develop their country. Besides, the poor countries will be able to only depend on the richer ones’ supports, or to be more precise, this policy may cause the former to fail to try themselves to get out of poverty. All in all, it is clear that there are both positives and negatives resulting from this policy, and this makes it rather difficult to determine which side is more convincing. But I personally think the help from richer nations is of the essence in order to help poor nations eliminate poverty.

Should universities accept the equal numbers of male and female students in every subject?. Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree? .................. Among educationalists as well as parents there is probably growing concern expressed over the question of how to improve the learning environment in universities. As a matter of fact, it is suggested that universities should not accept equal proportion of male and female students in every subject. This appears to be thought-provoking problem. The people who choose to support the view above can offer good few points. In particular, it is true to think that men and women have their own strong points in studying, the example taken is that male students have a tendency to be good at science subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, physical, while the latter are as often as not good at the subjects relating to art or communication skill. One additional plus point can be that grouping students depended on the gender can help them only concentrate on and develop their strong points. This is seen to be easier for them to obtain their later career goals. Nevertheless, not all people choose to agree with the view about. In fact, there are many who strongly believe that a number of male and female students in universities should be equal in every subject. Their strongest argument is that it s not exact to depend on the factor of sex for determining which subject the student is good at. Moreover, the modern world has a tendency to frown upon the sexism, so the universities should look into the students ' performances in studying before making any judgment. People still cast about for the answer of the question of whether universities should accept equal percentage of male and female students in every subject. However, I am inclined to think that under no circumstances should universities depend on the factor of sex to choose which subject a student belongs to, but instead should create the equality in the learning environment and let the performance of each student be the answer.

Should children be taught to compete or to cooperate? "Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to cooperate rather than compete become more useful adults. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion." .......... One of the problems which raises concerns among parents as well as educationalists these days is the question as to how to teach children in the best way. Various statements have been made, and one claim says that children should be taught to compete each other to encourage them to make every effort to study in a better way. This proves to be a piece of reasonable advice. The people who advocate the view mentioned earlier can justify their belief and the main argument can be that only with competitions can children try their best to study hard to catch up with their friends in school due to the fact that these children more often than not have a tendency to feel frustrated when they get lower scores than others. One more plausible explanation is that they will not be anxious or less confident when they have to face the big competitions in the future because they have been familiar with them since they are in school. There are, just the same, many believe that in order to make children become the useful adults in the future, they should be taught to cooperate rather than compete. And they can give the convincing arguments somehow, their strongest point is that these children will tend not to ignore their friends when they are in the midst of difficulties and furthermore try to help them solve those problems or to put it another way, they will not leave their partners back in the competition. Another view worth taking into account is that the children who work in supportive a way, for definite, as often as not do have many good friends so they may support each other to deal with any troubles and problems as well in their lives. All things considered, the answer to the question as to whether children should be taught to compete or cooperate depends on children 's character. I personally think that children should be led to be cooperating people to contribute more to the society.
